Chapter 227: 【The Completely Crazy Iraqi Federation】(4.1k)

The Blue Star players had already figured out the layout of the Iraqi Federation and the American Federation under the explanation.

Now it was just a matter of seeing what the situation would be like when they really started fighting.

These troop strengths of the Iraqi Federation would have been fine in World War II, but it was a pity that the times had changed; the American Federation crushed the Iraqi Federation with just airstrikes.

They didn't know what the situation was with the American Federation's ground units.

As time passed.

The plot in the game soon reached a few days later.

The day the American Federation's ground units attacked.

In Lei Cheng's livestream.

The screen in the livestream was divided into two halves.

On the left was himself, and on the right were the livestreams of several streamers with Iraqi Federation and American Federation identities, all of whom were in the Kuwait region.

This ensured that he could explain while watching the battle situation on the front line.

Lei Cheng's half of the livestream had a map hanging, and he said:

"It's about to start."

"This is the current troop distribution map of the American Federation and the Iraqi Federation."

"I've marked the American Federation's plan here."

"Everyone can also look at the battle situation on the front line through the livestream on the right."

"Next, let's talk about the American Federation's battle plan."

"First, the American Federation's large-scale feint has already begun."

"From the several livestreams on the right, everyone can also see that the Iraqi Federation's troop movements in Kuwait are frequent."

"This is because the American Federation is following Iraq's thoughts."

"It is currently conducting large-scale bombing of the Kuwait Federation's border."

"That's right."

"It's following the Iraqi Federation's thoughts."

"Because the Iraqi Federation has hoarded hundreds of thousands of great armies here in Kuwait, forming an iron-wall-like defense, to defend against the American Federation's attack."

"Then the American Federation followed their wishes and began a comprehensive feint from several directions."

"And facing such an attack."

"The Iraqi Federation was indeed fooled, so you can see that in many livestreams of streamers with Iraqi Federation identities, they are marching."

"And their destination is the place being attacked by the American Federation."

"But the American Federation's real goal is to strike from the Iraqi Federation and then cut off the connection between Kuwait and the Iraqi capital."

Lei Cheng explained, but the Blue Star players in the livestream had strange expressions.

It wasn't anything else.

It was that the American coalition forces, as the initiators of the feint, had already broken through the defense lines and positions arranged by the Iraqi Federation in Kuwait.

The several American Federation identity livestreams hung on the right of Lei Cheng's livestream were advancing so fast.

This was a bit different from what many Blue Star players had in their minds.

Logically speaking, no matter how bad it was, it was still a steel torrent; was the American Federation pushing too fast?

Did the ground units have some high-tech?

Quite a few people were curious, and then they exited to go to the livestreams on both sides to see what was going on.

At this time.

In the livestream of streamer Shi Yong.

As a soldier identity stationed on the Kuwait border of the Iraqi Federation, the American Federation unit attacking opposite was also an old acquaintance.

After all, they had just come from 【World War II】.

The American Federation's attacking unit opposite was the 1st Marine Division that was chased by the Volunteer Army from Liutanli to Water Bridge in the Chosin Reservoir area during the Peninsula War.

Shi Yong had even participated in the Chosin Reservoir battle in World War II.

Following the Volunteer Army, chasing the 1st Marine Division, but at this moment.

Shi Yong was hiding behind a sandbag bunker, panting heavily, his heart pounding, just wanting to question his existence, saying to the Blue Star friends in the livestream:

"Hell."

"In flatland warfare, are mechanized units this outrageous?"

The Blue Star players who had followed the Volunteer Army in the Peninsula to use terrain to fight back and forth with the American Federation's mechanized units finally experienced the terror of mechanized units—meeting almost in an instant.

The American Federation 1st Marine Division's tank artillery fired in unison, and there were armored vehicles lined up in a row, the 25mm chain guns on the roofs firing mercilessly.

The Iraqi Federation's forward defense line was destroyed instantly.

Even the tanks at the very front were detonated by shells, the sound of explosions tearing apart tanks and steel ringing in their ears.

It was just one wave of attacks.

They became lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

And because the impact was too intense, they couldn't think of any solution for a while.

Tank duel?

No, the tanks opposite had more firepower, not to mention there were so many armored vehicles.

Anti-tank rockets?

At this distance, let alone firing, you'd be killed the moment you poked your head out.

Just at this time.

A roaring sound came from the sky.

Shi Yong looked up, and his pupils shrank sharply:

"Damn!!!"

He hurriedly rolled to hide, grabbing a sandbag to cover himself.

In the sky.

As the armed helicopters swept past.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—rockets streaked across the sky like death's scythe, followed by densely packed explosions that didn't cease until the explosions disappeared.

Only then did Shi Yong push away the sandbag and look at the position that had become a human purgatory.

Everywhere were charred marks and burning flames, many Iraqi Federation soldiers' corpses were blown to pieces, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of charred coal and burning gasoline.

When Shi Yong didn't know what to do.

Many Iraqi Federation soldiers who hadn't died began to collapse, finding whatever white things they could use, waving and shouting to surrender, some even kneeling on the ground.

This scene.

Made the Blue Star netizens in the livestream pause.

This... was their fighting will a bit weak?

Don't know why.

This thought flashed through the minds of the Blue Star netizens.

It was just too different from their impression.

After all, for so many days, the Iraqi Federation, including these NPCs themselves, had been boasting about their steel torrent and the battle-hardened veterans who had fought for 8 years.

Based on this.

The Blue Star netizens had always substituted these Iraqi Federation units and soldiers into the perspective of the Empire and the Soviet Federation during World War II.

After all, the steel torrents of those two countries were the most famous at the time.

It was just that they didn't expect that when they really started fighting.

This so-called steel torrent and battle-hardened veterans knelt so quickly, and the unit opposite was even an old acquaintance.

With the 1st Marine Division as a comparison.

On the Volunteer Army side, positions were fought over repeatedly; there were those who died in battle, those who froze to death, and those who shouted "fire at me" to perish together, but there were no such people kneeling and raising a white flag.

And the defenders on the Iraqi Federation side faced one wave of bombing from the 1st Marine Division and their will directly collapsed, a large group of soldiers shouting to surrender, kneeling and waving white flags.

Was the American Federation that terrifying?

Many Blue Star players didn't know what to say.

Although some people had watched Lei Cheng's livestream before, saying that according to the American Federation's estimates, airstrikes alone could destroy half of the Iraqi Federation's combat power.

But was the remaining half too weak?

In reality.

It was still because the Blue Star players had been eating too well.

From the beginning of World War II, they experienced the soldier units of the Empire, the Soviet Federation, and the British Federation, and later they experienced the soldiers with the Republic identity.

The confrontations of these countries or their confrontations with the American Federation were all at the level of opponents.

And if you set aside these countries, you would find.

Most of the other countries in the world combined might not be enough for these few federation countries to fight.

If the Blue Star players changed their perspective, perhaps they would understand.

Substitute it into the World War II era.

American Federation = Empire, Iraqi Federation = Poland.

Dimensionality-reduction strike + fast push, this way it could be understood.

But the Blue Star players were now substituting the Iraqi Federation into the Empire, the Soviet Federation, and even the Republic... naturally, they felt awkward about the Iraqi Federation's soldiers.

Feeling that there was a sense of not living up to the name.

In reality, they had substituted it wrong.

Next door.

In the livestream of Zhong Hao, a streamer with the identity of an American Federation soldier.

A massive steel torrent was galloping in the desert; Zhong Hao looked at the Iraqi Federation's defensive fortifications through the scope.

Although there were barbed wire, machine gun positions, and anti-tank trenches.

But Zhong Hao wasn't panicked at all, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Originally, the battle was a bit difficult at the beginning, but with the American Federation's rapid advance and the Iraqi Federation's weak resistance and large number of surrendering soldiers.

Zhong Hao's mentality gradually changed from being serious to commenting, looking at the Iraqi Federation unit's position hundreds of meters away and spraying:

"Brothers, how long do you think this position can hold?"

"It looks like it's made of paper."

Hearing this.

The Blue Star friends in the livestream rolled their eyes.

This was truly floating.

The Iraqi Federation's fortifications were sufficient defensive fortifications even in the World War II era, but now they were crushed by the American Federation.

Coupled with the fact that the Iraqi Federation's soldiers' fighting will had already collapsed, the American Federation's tanks could still fight a bit before they reached the front, but they surrendered once they reached the front.

So now they were pushing deeper and deeper, and fighting faster and faster.

Clearly, it was just a feint unit.

As a result, they had already penetrated deep into Kuwait.

On the other side.

The border of the Iraqi Federation's mainland.

The American Federation's units were also advancing rapidly.

Cutting off the key highway at Nasiriyah that connected the capital, Baghdad, with the front in Kuwait.

From the few highway lines on the map, one could see the importance of this place.

Because of the American Federation's electronic interference, orders couldn't be transmitted down.

So being cut off here.

Also meant that the command of the Iraqi Federation capital, Baghdad, was cut off from the 600,000-plus great army in Kuwait; how could they not panic in such a situation?

At the same time.

The American Federation's mechanized units located at the border junction.

Because the friendly forces' attack was too smooth, the units that originally planned to attack the next day attacked the hinterland at the junction of the Iraqi Federation and Kuwait 10-plus hours ahead of schedule.

In the game.

In just two days.

The Blue Star players truly experienced what it meant to be defeated like a mountain falling.

At this moment, they finally found a little feeling.

This Iraqi Federation was not the Empire, nor the Soviet Union, and even less the Republic.

With this appearance of being defeated like a mountain falling, wasn't this just the Polish Federation and the French Empire?

Now it made sense.

The American Federation's attack was too smooth, and the Iraqi Federation was already panicked.

In Lei Cheng's livestream.

Lei Cheng was sharing the latest newspapers, smiling and saying to the Blue Star friends in the livestream:

"The Iraqi Federation can't hold on."

"It's only been two days, and Kuwait has completely collapsed."

"Now the Iraqi Federation is demanding peace negotiations; they are taking the initiative to withdraw troops and leave Kuwait."

"It looks like they are really scared."

"Afraid that if they keep fighting, their hundreds of thousands of troops will all be wiped out."

"In reality, it really is like this."

"Look at how far the American Federation has pushed in just these few days?"

"The defenses originally made by the Iraqi Federation had no effect at all."

"The iron wall defense line composed of 600,000-plus great armies was almost pierced by the American Federation in two days."

"If it weren't for the fact that the Iraqi Federation's soldiers were too numerous."

"Maybe the battle would have ended by now."

"After all, 600,000-plus people, even if they all surrendered, it would take a while to capture them."

"However, the Iraqi Federation is scared."

"But the American Federation has no intention of letting them go."

The war has been fought to this point, and they've almost been flattened by their coalition army; how can you stop just by saying stop?"

Do you think you are those two from the East?

What's more, the American Federation's own goal is the oil under the Iraqi Federation and Kuwait.

The oil in these two places accounts for 20% of the world's reserves; if it weren't for this oil, why would they go to such great lengths to uphold justice for Kuwait?

And so.

The Iraqi Federation kept saying they accepted a ceasefire, but the American Federation just played dead.

Two days later.

The Iraqi Federation's request was rejected again; it was clear that the American Federation had no intention of a ceasefire at all, and its goal was to wipe out their 600,000-strong army.

You have to know that that's a 600,000-strong army; it occupies the majority of the Iraqi Federation's troop strength.

If they were all wiped out, wouldn't the Iraqi Federation be finished?

In order to let the front-line units get away as soon as possible.

The Iraqi Federation capital, Baghdad, issued an order, and then... all 700-plus oil wells in Kuwait were ignited.

And as those 700-plus oil wells were ignited, the Blue Star players went silent.

In Shi Yong's livestream.

As a Blue Star player, he didn't choose to surrender like those NPCs, but ran all the way to the rear, but the units in the rear couldn't hold on either.

Until the order came from above to ignite all the oil wells.

Shi Yong stood on the position, looking at the doomsday scene in front of him, already stunned.

The sun that once roasted the desert in the sky had disappeared, and only layer after layer of thick, greasy, rolling black smoke rushed into the sky.

The boundless rolling black smoke covered the sky and the sun.

The air also became thick, filled with the pungent smell of sulfur and asphalt, burning the lungs and stinging the eyes.

The jumping and twisting flames of the oil wells became exceptionally eerie in this pitch-black world.

Such a psychedelic scene that would only appear in dreams was clearly eerie, yet not discordant.

Looking at such a scene.

Shi Yong's face was pale, not because of the thick smoke and toxic gas, but because in such a scene, he was facing the greatest malice from the planet.

The fear that destroyed everything was constantly impacting the fragile human spirit.

Also feeling the pressure brought by this scene were the Blue Star friends in the livestream; although they didn't have the fear of being there in person, they also held their breath.

A thought inexplicably surfaced in their minds.

"Earth's humans" are too terrifying.

All 700-plus oil wells were ignited; if they keep doing this, won't they really blow up "Earth" one day?

Looking at the doomsday scene where 700-plus oil wells were ignited.

The Blue Star players were no longer thinking about how much pollution this was, but felt that it was not impossible to blow up the Earth one day. ===== CHAPTER 228 =====
